[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 3176556, member: 8944"] Over the past few months, my wife (Queen Dopplepopolis 'round here) and I have become increasingly frustrated with the availability of our current gaming group - despite attempts to schedule sessions well in advance, we almost never have a full group for an entire session (and those sessions are few and far between). Stacked on top of that, we're becoming somewhat frustrated (my wife to a greater, myself to a lesser degree) with some of the players at an interpersonal level, due to various factors that are really not important to the ensuing discussion. Nevertheless, the players are all valued friends, and close enough to us that we don't want to abandon the gaming group (or gaming as an activity), so ditching them is not option (and our frustration is not really so significant as to warrant it). But this is our hobby, and we want to enjoy it. As a result, we're considering joining a second gaming group. The idea is basically new to me - I've only ever maintained one gaming group at a time, usually as the GM, and always gamed with relatively close friends (excepting convention games). I know that others are part of multiple gaming groups, but I've typically just added players/GMs to my existing group, usually in an effort to expand the existing circle of friends/acquaintances. Still, I want to make sure that we can continue to enjoy the shared hobby, and an extra group may be the thing that kicks the fun back into the game. :) So - how many groups do you play in? Do more/different groups enhance or hinder the overall gaming experience? I'm keen to learn. [/QUOTE]
